#ReadYourWorld

January 14, 2008

A couple of news bytes that stood out to me:...18-year-old Cassandra Carter, who rose to fame at 14 as a young author is putting off college to write a sequel to her first novel, in time for her second to be published. Ironically, the sequel is called Fast Life.

The second piece of news that stuck out to me is that Disney has crossed into a new market by marketing Disney tales like Aladdin, The Jungle Book and Winnie the Pooh Hindi, Marathi and Malayalam. I guess that's a great idea, but I'm more inclined to wonder why Disney doesn't find Indian stories to publish and market. But that's just me...

Who We Are

Wonderland started in 2005 as a collaborative space for our writing group to share news, links, book recommendations, and thoughts on writing for young adults.

Through various alterations, we've still held to our core vision, and we're still hoping to find Wonderland.

Now team-blogging as tanita & aquafortis, we blog to share our enjoyment and celebrate young adult books, especially speculative fiction, adventure, suspense, and graphic novels with diverse characters (including diversity of body/ability, ethnicity, culture, gender, and faith). Click the links to discover more about what makes us who we are and about what we do. You can also visit Tanita on her official author site, and aquafortis on her official author site.

NB: as per the FTC Guidelines for blogging and endorsements, Finding Wonderland hereby states that unless otherwise stated (such as, if we get it from the library or buy it ourselves), readers should assume that every book reviewed on our site is provided to the reviewers by the publisher or the author free of charge or obligation.
